Country music singer Mindy McCready has committed suicide, according to FOX 17 and multiple other reports. Stacy McCloud, a reporter at FOX 17 in Nashville, tweeted: “A close family friend of Mindy McCready has informed me that the country singer has committed suicide.” A short time later she tweeted: “The Mindy McCready suicide I told you about has now been confirmed from 4 different sources. A statement from the family is in the works.” McCloud said she spoke to McCready’s family who confirmed the news. Andrea Canning, a correspondent for NBC News, is also reporting McCready committed suicide on Sunday. Canning said a family friend told her that McCready “shot and killed herself this evening.” E! News also spoke with a family friend who confirmed the singer’s death. McCready, who was an American country music singer, was born on Nov. 30, 1975. She recorded five studio albums, including her debut album Ten Thousand Angels back in 1996. McCready gained notoriety back in 2008 when her relationship with Roger Clemens was made public. About a month ago, McCready’s boyfriend, David Wilson, died at the age of 34. His cause of death has has not been released, however the investigation is still open. Story is developing…

Firearms by far are the most common method of suicide in America. The idea that restricting access to firearms wouldn't reduce the suicide rate is laughable.

It would also severely reduce murder, manslaughter, assault, etc... but we all know that.

JFC man you're still going....I was going to kick you in the balls over this but I refrained last night in hopes that you'd let it go but it seems not....

So let's go with your theory that 'Restricting access to firearms would reduce the suicide rate'. It stands to reason that those countries with fewer firearms per capita should have measurably lower suicide rates than the US right?

How about #7 Japan at 21.9...hmmm it's really hard to get a gun there...

Damn 3 SE Asian countries in the top 7 there's not a cultural correlation is there?

But let's look somewhere closer to our western home
The French at #24 with a 15.0 rate....but isn't it a PITA to get a gun there?(but hey it's France...if I were French I might be tempted to kill myself too!)

Where's the US with bar far the most guns per capita in the world?
We're #34 at a rate of 12.0

Wait who's right behind us at #38???
The UK with a rate of 11.8..but wait aren't they the poster children for gun control since their firearm murder rate is so low???

But lets go even closer to home...
#39 our neighbors to the north....Canada at 11.3 where it is not easy at all to get a gun.

So why even with countries that are very difficult to get guns does the suicide rate not go down? Because often people will substitute one method for another.

People like to talk about how effective firearms are at committing suicide, sorry they are weak. Know what the number one single suicide device in the world is? The Golden Gate Bridge most suicides in the world and about a 98% effectiveness rating. Because if the fall doesn't kill you, you're going to drown trying to swim in the ice cold water below.

So should we now ban access to bridges because they are such lethal killing machines?????

Are you so stupid not to think that the reasons people commit suicide may be more severe in these other countries? Work pressure? Family issues? You must not know much about South Korea.

37 people killed themselves by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in 2011.

Your comparison of jumping off a bridge to using a gun to kill yourself is laughable. In fact it helps prove my point. Picking up a gun and pointing it at your head is easy, accessible, quicker not only physically but mentally.
